Transfer lap list to Google Nexus 5

Post by AlexBerlee »

Hi, I've just purchased Petrolhead edition for Android (LG Google Nexus 5, unrooted) after previously using Petrolhead in iphone 4S.

I've emailed my full lap list in .hlptrl format, but am unable to open/import the file on the Android phone ("No apps can perform this action")

Is it possible to just copy/paste the file? If so, what location?
Or is there some other method to import the lap list, perhaps I'm just too new to Android?

It can be pretty cumbersome to open a file in Android relying on the file type association. There are several approaches you may try: download attachment in the Android mailer you receive he mail with and switch to the Downloads app. Long press the attachment and check for LapTimer a opening open. If this doesn't work, try one of the 3rd party file explorers available for Android (and free). Another option is to move the file downloaded to Dropbox and use the long press action here.
